Tuscan Rhapsody… 121212

Rating: 5.0


Rolling space gentle mild
Olives plucked by a child

Wandering slow Tuscan knolls
Fluttering fleeced golden dolls

Blooming begonias on the sill
autumnal hues the eyes still

hopeful smile of flourishing dells
grand old church's peeling bells

slanted roofs with ruddy tiles
as one whiles away the miles

lapping waves in near by coves
fruiting berries in shady groves

slush slosh of seaside waves
trickling salt in glowing caves

Flitting pigeons in their droves
whatever piazza that one goes

serene heaven in sheltered bays
welcome advance of waterways

silent days and greedy nights
unwrinkled shine of satin whites

so much hope of golden days
lost to dither in faltering ways

Hi! nice lines. I've published a poem here, about Florence. Pity it is in Italian (Firenze, passeggiata con vista) . I've tried to translate it in English myself, but I don't like the result I got, so I decided not to published my Italian version :) ... sorry.. greetings from Tuscany! :)

I like the poetic form...and the imagery depicts beautifully the beauty of the place. I myself wrote a poem titled Venice -being inspired by its uniqueness when I first visited.Lovely!
